Why stay in the same old cabin or condo when you can stay in our beautiful, clean and unique A-Frame surrounded by trees and abundant with wildlife.

The location of this home is perfect for your Estes vacation. It is located in a very quiet collection of a few cabins just a few minutes hike into Rocky Mountain National Park or the the YMCA property and a 1.5 mile drive to Downtown or the Beaver Meadows entrance into RMNP . You can also walk to the very popular Dunraven Italian Restaurant (the one off Hwy 66).

You will have a marvelous Rocky Mountain vacation in this clean, quiet, fully appointed vacation home. We have two bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a balcony where you can hear the Big Thompson River through the trees. The second bedroom has a full size bed. Downstairs is tastefully decorated with newer furniture with a pull-out queen and pull-out twin bed. Downstairs is great for kids to sleep in while the grown-ups sleep quietly upstairs.

We have a brand new remodeled full kitchen w/ gas stove, dishwasher and microwave. We also have a newer full sized washer and dryer too.

You can relax and read a book by the wood-burning stove, watch DVD's on the TV (we have a large selection of DVD's stocked), play classic Atari video games or sit on the front or back porches and watch the elk, deer, bears, foxes, coyotes, wild turkeys, rabbits, hummingbirds etc. that are frequently seen on the property.

If you want to hike, this is the location for you. You can hike into Rocky Mountain National Park along the picturesque boulder strewn Big Thompson River and be in the Moraine Park area (prime fishing and elk viewing area) in about 15 minutes. You can also hike along Glacier Creek for more fishing and beautiful trails. The YMCA has numerous trails where mountain biking is allowed. We are close to quite a few restaurants, shopping, horseback riding, fishing, miniature golf and all that Estes has to offer on Highway 66 (Tunnel Rd) into downtown Estes.

About Andrea or Stephen Velasco

Sales person extraordinaire. Mother. Skier. Hiker. Dog lover.

Andrea or Stephen Velasco purchased this Chalet in 2007

Why Andrea or Stephen Velasco chose Estes Park

We fell in love with this house the moment we saw it. We have always loved Estes Park, and wanted our own little piece of it to enjoy. We love being able to easily hike into the park. The wildlife in the immediate area is abundant. The balcony off the bedroom is fantastic for sitting outside with a cup of coffee listening to the roar of the water nearby. We have always loved the unique look of an A-Frame. It's like owning a Harley or an Airstream. Why have a home like everyone else!

What makes this Chalet unique

Walk into the RMNP Morraine Park area. Walk to the best restaurant in Estes Park - The Dunraven. Enjoy local wildlife.

Had a magical stay here for Thanksgiving. A herd of elk visited the yard, and a family of deer grazed in the fields each day. Estes Christmas parade is always great fun.

We really liked the location, both that it was so close to RMNP and Estes as well as it being quiet and off the road and up a hill with just a few neighbors that were quiet as well. The home was very clean, charming, and the queen bed was comfortable. It was a great getaway and we did lots of hiking, so beautiful! We got pretty good coverage with Verizon cell (for the few times we used it, and it could be used for internet if needed). The DVD's had some good selections, and plenty of board games. A fun place. We stayed there 4 nights. We would go back again! Thanks Andrea and Stephen!

Andrea and Stephen's place is as charming in person as it is in the pictures and description. We absolutely loved it. It was very comfortable and spacious. The only thing all of us would change is to have a toilet on the upper level, but that could be challenging, so we get why there is not one. It would have helped to have a light or outlet for a nightlight in the actual upstairs hallway to make finding our way down to the bathroom safer, but we managed. The surrounding area is so quiet at night as we sat on the front porch and counted stars forever. It is very conveniently located, just far enough from downtown to be quite, but close enough to be very convenient.

We hiked Rocky Mountain National Park, attended the Highland Festival, shopped downtown Estes and did a day-trip to Boulder to hike the Flatirons. We cooked breakfast and dinner every night except one, since we had to try the Dunraven, which is less than a 5-minute walk and well worth it!

Charming cottage very close to town and RMNP. Very clean and comfortable. Also close to several great restaurants, without having to deal with all the traffic in the center of town. No WiFi and AT&T cell service was very limited, but owner mentioned that up front, so we were aware. Neighbors were very friendly. Really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.
